nature.
When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm set out to collect stories in the
early 1800s, their goal was not to entertain children but to
preserve Germanic folklore-and the hard life of European peasants
was reflected in the tales theydiscovered. However, once the
brothers saw how the stories entranced young readers, they began
softening some of the harsher aspects to make them more suitable
for children.
A cornerstone of Western culture since the early 1800s, "Grimm's
Fairy Tales" is now beloved the world over. This collection of more

No library's complete without the classics! This new, enhanced
leather-bound edition collects the legendary fairy tales of the
Brothers Grimm. They are the stories we've known since we were
children. Rapunzel. Hansel and Gretel. Cinderella. Sleeping Beauty.
But the works originally collected by the Brothers Grimm in the
early 1800s are not necessarily the versions we heard before
bedtime. They're darker and often don't end very happily--but
they're often far more interesting. This elegant edition of Grimm's
Complete Fairy Tales includes all our cherished favorites--Snow
White, Rumpelstiltskin, Little Red Cap, and many more--in their
original versions. With specially designed end papers, a genuine
leather cover, and other enhancements, it's the perfect gift for
anyone looking to build a complete home library. Many of these
tales begin with the familiar refrain of "once upon a time"--but
they end with something unexpected and fascinating!
When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published their "Children's and
Household Tales" in 1812, followed by a second volume in 1815, they
had no idea that such stories as "Rapunzel," "Hansel and Gretel,"
and "Cinderella" would become the most celebrated in the world. Yet
few people today are familiar with the majority of tales from the
two early volumes, since in the next four decades the Grimms would
publish six other editions, each extensively revised in content and
style. For the very first time, " The Original Folk and Fairy Tales
of the Brothers Grimm" makes available in English all 156 stories
from the 1812 and 1815 editions. These narrative gems, newly
translated and brought together in one beautiful book, are
accompanied by sumptuous new illustrations from award-winning
artist Andrea Dezso.
From "The Frog King" to "The Golden Key," wondrous worlds
unfold--heroes and heroines are rewarded, weaker animals triumph
over the strong, and simple bumpkins prove themselves not so simple
after all. Esteemed fairy tale scholar Jack Zipes offers accessible
translations that retain the spare description and engaging
storytelling style of the originals. Indeed, this is what makes the
tales from the 1812 and 1815 editions unique--they reflect diverse
voices, rooted in oral traditions, that are absent from the Grimms'
later, more embellished collections of tales. Zipes's introduction
gives important historical context, and the book includes the
Grimms' prefaces and notes.
A delight to read, "The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the
Brothers Grimm" presents these peerless stories to a whole new
generation of readers."
In this adaptation of the Grimms' story, children are discovered
playing "Ladder words', changing one world to another, a letter at
a time, retaining an actual word during each change. Grettle says
she can change "flax" into "gold". Unfortunately, the King, whose
gold has been mysteriously disappearing, hears this and mistakes it
for an actual boast. He orders Grettle to work the change, or she
will lose her head, despite the Prince's protests who's in love
with her. She's shut in the Tower to perform her task, and
Rumpelstiltzkin, the gnome, offers to help her - at a price.Large

The tale of 'Cinderella' is told wherever stories are still read
aloud and everyone is familiar with 'Rapunzel' and 'The Golden
Goose', but who has heard all the wonderful stories collected by
the Brothers Grimm? Well, here's your chance, for within these
covers you will find every one of their 210 tales, in all their
enchantment and rapture, terror and wisdom, tragedy and beauty.
Jacob Grimm (1785-1863) and his brother Wilhelm (1786-1859) were
philologists and folklorists. The brothers rediscovered a host of
fairy tales, telling of princes and princesses in their castles,
witches in their towers and forests, of giants and dwarfs, of
fabulous animals and dark deeds. Together with the well-known tales
of Rapunzel, The Goose-Girl, Sleeping Beauty, Hansel and Gretel and
Snow White, there are the darker tales such as Death's Messengers
which deserve to be better known, and which will appeal not only to
all who are interested in the history of folklore, but also to all
those who simply love good story-telling.
